Today is a public holiday in Britain, so in a special Easter episode, Dom Nicholls chairs a panel of experts at the Oxford Literary Festival. Government adviser Keir Giles, academic Professor Mark Galeotti, and journalist Stephanie Baker discuss the Russian threat and how to deal with Vladimir Putin, including why the Russian President retains his stranglehold on power, the need for Europe to wake up on defence, and the impacts of economic sanctions. How can the West win?

I've heard an interesting thing that seemed quite plausible to me. In addition to the war economy created to reinforce his war machine not being easily reversed, integrating hundreds of thousands of orcs into Russian society is just a bridge too far. Not enough of them have been killed yet to end the war.
Huge thanks to all the UTL team. I have listened to the podcast pretty much since day one, in parallel with the ups and downs of my own life in Kenilworth. Your reporting is an essential bastion of hope in a world of disinformation where bizarre reality is often stranger than fiction. Keep up the banter Dom and Francis 🤣 I love you guys 🙌
